Criminal Justice Council Postpones Wilmington Public Hearing

WILMINGTON, Del. – Due to downtown Wilmington closures and difficulties with mass transit scheduled for this week pertaining to the arrival of the Pope, the public hearing scheduled for this Thursday night, September 24, 2015 from 6 to 8 pm at the Hilltop Lutheran Neighborhood Center has been postponed.  The Wilmington public hearing will be rescheduled.

A notice will be released once the new date is confirmed.

All other public hearings will take place as scheduled.  We look forward to the public’s participation.

The public hearings give citizens of Delaware the opportunity to discuss criminal justice issues facing our state with members of the CJC. People will have the opportunity to tell the panel what they think are the most important issues facing the state which will allow for their input to be used in developing strategies for improving the criminal justice process in Delaware.

Some of the CJC membership includes the Attorney General, The Public Defender, Chief Judges of all State Courts, Cabinet Secretaries, Chiefs of Police and public members.

The other hearings and locations remain as originally announced. They are:

Thursday, Oct.1st (6-8PM) at the Canaan Baptist Church ( 3011 New Castle Ave., New Castle, DE)

Thursday, Oct. 8th (6-8PM)  at the Dover Police Meeting Room (400 S. Queen St., Dover, DE)
